Now, Depp's planned remake of "The Thin Man" at Warner Bros. has stalled.

Although the film was never officially green-lit, "Thin Man" was in line to be Depp's next starring role and was to be directed by Rob Marshall, who worked with the star on "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides." The proposed budget for "The Thin Man" was recently submitted to the studio, who likely balked at the $100 million+ price tag, according to Deadline.

The ever-busy Depp, meanwhile, hopes to take some time off before his next film, while Marshall will focus on his upcoming adaptation of the musical "Into the Woods."

The money-concious Warner Bros. also recently nixed both the live-action "Akira" remake and "Arthur & Lancelot" due to overinflated budgets. The lackluster box office of "Dark Shadows" (also a Warner film) may have also contributed to the "Thin Man" decision.

The 1934 original, based on the novel by Dashiell Hammett, was nominated for best picture and spawned five sequels.
